Beauty and the Bayou Review


Erin Nicholas is a must read author for me. Here is my review for her latest release:
Beauty and the Bayou


Sawyer and Juliet’s love story in Beauty and the Bayou by Erin Nicholas, book three in her Boys of the Bayou series, was amazing as they were perfect for each other. Ms. Nicholas’ books are a must read for me as they grab me and don’t let go from the moment I open the book and read page one.

Sawyer has been grumpy, bristly, beastly, and overly safety conscious since the death of his best friend; the fun-loving, looking for a good time guy has been missing in action. Then one day he discovers a beautiful woman wearing hip waders and a life jacket on his boat deck and suddenly he realizes that this look is turning him on. Juliet Dawson is determined that her little brother rebuild the dock he and his idiot friends smashed. She is a city girl who is just might be a bigger pessimist than Sawyer; especially since she is an expert at playing the “What-ifs” game. Juliet suffered a childhood stroke which limited her body strength yet she did not allow it to stop her. She was strong, smart, self-deprecating, brave, and able to be prepared so that she couldn’t be limited in her inclusion of various activities. Juliet was perfect for Sawyer. She made him feel safe, understood, and appreciated. Sawyer was not only drawn to Juliet but wanted to watch out for her, take care of her, or maybe protect her. As Sawyer and Juliet spend time together not only are they getting more attracted to each other but sparks are flying; at least these sparks won’t ignite a fire in the bayou. Juliet was learning to overcome her fears and that sometimes you have to do things you don’t like because the people you love need you to. What started as a two-week adventure for Juliet was turning into more than just a fling with Sawyer; hopefully a future together.

Ms. Nicholas wrote a wonderful, humorous, challenging, and sexy story that is not to be missed. This story is filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters. This book contains a cast of characters one would only find in an Erin Nicholas story. I am so glad Sawyer and Juliet found the courage to take a chance at love and a forever together.  I highly recommend Beauty and the Bayou to other reader and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
